Chapter VII 3
On April 13, two notices were posted in Bailu Town, one was an order to dismiss the county magistrate Shi Weihua Zishui, and at the same time appoint a man named He Dezhi to take over.
The proclamation was personally signed by the provincial capital, Governor Zhang. Bailu Town gathers, and the onlookers talk about it, leaving a dead (historical) person and replacing a living (he) person; Those who are dead have not maintained (Weihua) until they die, and it is difficult to say whether they can be cured by virtue if they are alive.
The humorous nature of the original people of Bailu got a great opportunity to perform. The content of another notice posted is not very good, that is, the notice of arrest and detention of the main culprit of the trouble, including Lu San, the four people who led the way into the city, as well as Mr. Xu, who wrote the post, and the He brothers who instigated the trouble.
The onlookers looked at the second notice and felt that they had fallen flat. Bai Jiaxuan was even more uncomfortable than before.
One of the heaviest fears was confirmed by rumors: the identity of his upriser was no secret for a long time, and he survived imprisonment because he paid off the county government; said that he put the blame on the seven people as soon as he saw that things were not good, and also said that his brother-in-law Mr. Zhu's big face was in the county, and so on.
Bai Jiaxuan's face was gloomy from morning to night, knowing that the jujube sprouts had sprouted but he didn't sow cotton. He went to He's house and then to Mr. Xu's house, and he didn't show special enthusiasm for their suffering family, but just coldly repeated the same sentence: "I will go to the county government immediately to surrender, and I will definitely exchange them back." He said to the woman who was crying and crying: "Third sister-in-law, you are in a hurry, if I can't save the third brother, I won't come to see you." Bai Jiaxuan got up early the next morning and went to the county government.
A young white-faced scholar in the county government told him: "The Jiaonong incident has subsided. The rest is handled by the court, and you have something to say to the court. Bai Jiaxuan put down his coat, took out a thin hemp rope and said, "I am the riser of Jiaonong." You're getting the wrong person. You have bound me and sent me to prison. The white-faced scholar was stunned for a moment, and then patiently explained: "There is nothing wrong with the Jiaonong incident. Bai Jiaxuan was taken aback, and felt that he had seized the other party's loophole: "That's right, why arrest someone?" The white-faced scholar explained to him with a smile: "Now it's anyway, it's revolutionary, you know!" Now it is the revolutionary government that advocates democracy, freedom and equality, and allows the people to assemble, organize, process, and demonstrate, and is no longer an autocratic and dictatorial feudal rule. The Jiaonong incident is a constitutional demonstration and is not illegal. Those seven people are only responsible for burning the house and smashing pots and bowls. Do you understand? Put the hemp rope in the blanket quickly. If you still don't understand, go to the court and say it!" Bai Jiaxuan didn't understand, but became more and more confused.
He went to the court again, and took out a hemp rope and asked the court to tie him up and take him to prison. The people of the court said the same thing as the white-faced scholar, and promoted the democratic spirit of the new government, but in a much harsher tone: "What are you kidding! Quickly put away your twine. Whoever violates the law will be arrested, and whoever does not break the law will not be able to enter prison if he wants to. Hurry up, hurry up, go away! If you don't leave, you will be making trouble without reason and disrupting the order of the revolutionary organs. Bai Jiaxuan packed up the hemp rope, took the blanket and walked out of the court, walked towards the west of the county, and decided to find a way to find his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu.
The next day, Bai Jiaxuan walked down Bailuyuan with a blanket on his back, and in the pocket of his underwear on his chest was a text message written by his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu, to Governor Zhang.
The front of the governor's palace was much tighter than that of the county government, and the heavily armed guards turned a blind eye. Bai Jiaxuan took out his brother-in-law's letter in a hurry.
Almost no one in the guards knew about Mr. Zhu's feat of persuading the 200,000 Qing troops to retreat, so they let him in. A middle-aged man took the letter and said, "Governor Zhang is not here. Believe in me. You go back. Bai Jiaxuan said, "I will wait to see Governor Zhang." The middle-aged man said, "You can't wait." The governor was not in the city. You have something to tell me. Bai Jiaxuan told him about the arrest, and said in a threatening tone: "If you don't release people, I will die on the gate." The middle-aged man smiled and said: "If you are killed, you will not be anything, you should be released, and you should be held." You go quickly, I'm still busy. Bai Jiaxuan was anxious: "If it wasn't for my brother-in-law to persuade Governor Fang to retire, most of you have become a wild ghost in a mass grave!" Now that you're sitting firmly, you don't need anyone, do you?" The middle-aged man smiled, not disgusted by his words, but said sincerely: "If you forget the affairs of others, how can you forget Mr. Zhu's affairs?" Go back! If there is no movement for seven days, you come again. Bai Jiaxuan stayed at the house of the second brother-in-law of the leatherman that night.
When I got home the next day, I saw Mr. Lu Sanxu, the He brothers, and two familiar but unnamed people sitting at the table in the upper room.
As soon as the six people saw him, they all knelt down in unison. Bai Jiaxuan was pleasantly surprised, and helped them up one by one, only to learn that Governor Zhang had specially sent someone to urgently tell the magistrate of Zishui County He Dezhi to release them.
Bai Jiaxuan asked, "What about the monk?" The six people were all silent, and they couldn't say that they were going to hold the monk alone.
Bai Jiaxuan said indifferently: "I'm afraid." When the monk came down to rescue him, no one could hold him. We are friends in trouble, and it is rare to meet today, and we will be shocked by a few cups. After that, he ordered the fairy grass to stir-fry, and then turned back to Lu San and said, "Third brother, you go back first and report to the third sister-in-law, she is in a hurry." Lu San smiled and said, "She knows I'm back." Jiaxuan, I've been in the number these days, guess what you dream about? What I dream of at night is our cows and horses! I carried swill to drink the cow, and when I woke up, I saw that it was a urine bucket in the number...... "It took a lot of trouble to rescue the monk from prison."
The president of the court bluntly described the embarrassment: "If you burn down someone's house and smash someone's pot, someone has to bear the guilt, right?" Bai Jiaxuan said: "You always have more ways than me!" He did not hesitate to break the bank, and made up his mind that he had to buy the monk with money.
Mr. Xu donated his money. The He brothers also sent silver dollars. The old monk of Sanguan Temple hung on his chest
The cards of "Save My Disciple" went to the villages on the original to turn the fate, and exchanged the small money into a large silver dollar and handed it to Jiaxuan.
Bai Jiaxuan sent the rattling silver dollar to the wife of the court president, and the president really came up with a way to release the monk.
The monk was released. Bai Jiaxuan was slightly unhappy that after the monk was released, he neither thanked him for rescuing him from prison, nor thanked the old monk who raised funds for him.
He did not return to the original Sanguan Temple, and his whereabouts are unknown. The monk became a mystery. At this time, some people said that the monk had committed adultery in Xifu and fled to Bailuyuan, and entered Sanguan Temple just to escape the pursuit of the government; Others say that he was an orphan without father or mother...... In Bai Jiaxuan's opinion, there is no need to pursue these things, let alone verify them, because the overall purpose of rescuing them from prison has been achieved, and as for whether he is a monk or not, it is insignificant.
